Awarding of repair work assignments to the LINDENAU shipyard

Joint press release by Reederei Carl Büttner GmbH & Co. KG in Bremen and the LINDENAU shipyard in Kiel

The established Bremen based shipping company Reederei Carl Büttner will send three of its vessels to the LINDENAU shipyard for substantial repair works in the next few weeks. The first vessel – The motor tanker “AURELIA” – will arrive in Kiel-Friedrichsort on the 27th of July. During the vessels 10 day stay at the shipyard, it will be upgraded to IMO-Class II. After the upgrade, the vessel will be allowed to transport biochemical fuels as well as most other chemicals.

Afterwards the motor tanker “LIBELLE”, which was built at the LINDENAU shipyard 10 years ago, will be docked. After the recurring class works are completed, the yard will install an inert gas system. The nitrogen producing aggregate is installed to reduce the probability of an explosion by filling up the tanks and pipes with nitrogen thereby preventing the development of explosive gasses.

In autumn the sister vessel “HORNISSE” which was delivered by the LINDENAU shipyard in 1998 will also have a nitrogen aggregate installed.

The shipping company chose the LINDENAU shipyard as a partner because it is convinced of its strengths and quality. Through these assignments, both parties show their commitment to the long standing business relationship and prove that shipbuilding “Made in Kiel-Friedrichsort” has an excellent name and a bright future.
